Abstract
In reviewing an award various factors before it can determine whether the award is so excessive that remittitur should be granted or a new trial ordered. Remittitur is justified when the award is based on computation errors, oversight or consideration of an improper element, or when, in view of the evidence, the judgment is excessive enough to indicate prejudice, passion, partiality or corruption on the part of the jury.
